Dog Mountain

6 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •

After reading about all the trail damage, I decided to go on less-affected "difficult" trail up and down, then hike up east (scenic) trail from the lower junction to the first bad spot, and do some cutting with my handsaw. However, even the short trail had so much blowdown it required going off-trail in at least 2 spots (and dozens of less bad spots needing clearing), so I just did some work on the short trail while going down. Despite some trees/brush, it is fairly easy to follow and the snow is mostly gone.

Two people I talked to said they went on scenic trail and it has so much trees across, that in many places you can't see or follow that trail.
